It's my personal preference to limit myself to the standard VH moves on these puzzle and I needed two of them: XYZ-Wing on 189 pivoted in r3c8 and the XY-Wing on 243 pivoted in r7c7. Interesting puzzle, as the large number of polyvalue cells required care as well.

I miss those two guys as well. I've been active on various forums ever since I got my first computer 13 years ago and if there's one constant, it's that people come and go.

When I first joined here almost seven years ago the cast of characters was different; you might be the only one still left. There was David Bryant of DIC fame who was the most prolific poster until he dropped out and I eventually took over that unfortunate "honor."

There was Tracy, Ravel, Steve, and dozens of others who don't come to mind. Sam even posted in those days!
